Hello,

Is it possible to disable a form submission when the Return key is
pressed?

I want the form to be submitted only when a button is pressed.

Thank you,

Miguel
 
Hi,
You can write following javascript function:

<script language=javascript>
document.onkeydown = function(){
if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
return false;
// or else you can also write window.event.keyCode =0
}
}

Thanks and Regards,

That syntax is not XHTML-compliant...
document.onkeydown = function(){
if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
return false;
// or else you can also write window.event.keyCode =0
}
}
Click to expand...

That will only work in IE...

<script type="text/javascript>

document.onkeyup = function keyPress(evt)
{
if(document.all)
{
var whichKey = window.event.keyCode;
}
else
{
var whichKey = evt.which;
}
if(whichKey == 13)
{
return false;
}
}

</script>
 
Hi Mark,

I tried your code but it does not work.

I found this one:

function checkCR(evt) {

var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);

var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ?
evt.srcElement : null);

if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return false;}

}

document.onkeypress = checkCR;

It works but when the cursor is inside a password text box it does not
work.
So I removed (node.type=="text") and now it works both in Firefox and
IE and also for password type textboxes.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Miguel
 
I don't get an error. The form just submits itself when I press Return.

Any idea?

Thanks,

P.S: The code I posted works only in Firefox. It seems it does not work
in IE either.

Yes - see below...

Then you've almost certainly set it up incorrectly...

Is the page in question available on the public internet...?
